MY STORY My own journey of transformation started when I was around 25 years old when I was owner operator of two highly successful Hair and Beauty Salons. I had just completed a Personal Training course while taking 9 months out of my life in Queensland after escaping a toxic lifestyle & relationship. It was a time of my life where I was doing really well in my career but working over 70- 80 hrs per week, I had an abundance of cash flow but my health and happiness was not great. I was addicted to work and my business. I was at the time feeling sluggish after work , out of balance, burnt out, toxic, binge drinker, fluctuating weight and obsessed with body image and always dieting and restricting foods and often fasting all day without food. After studying my personal training and returning back to my salons feeling refreshed and excited to learn how to build muscle and put into practice everything I had learned while studying. The fear of lifting weights and looking bulky was gone. I teamed up with my cousin John, who soon became my mentor, friend and coach for my very first fitness competition. I placed 2nd in my very first competition and then went on to win the South Island Championships INBA Figure Shaping, which is now like Bikini & Fitness Model today.
I then went on competing for over a period of 3 years at National level placing from 1st -3rds! I wanted to keep bettering my physique each competition so much it almost became addictive but I had to put an end to the addiction of competitions and focus on preparing my body for my very first baby, my marriage and new life. Not long after giving birth we moved to Sydney where I was able to change my career from the Beauty Industry to the Fitness Industry.
While I was competing I stumbled across a yoga class. From that very first class, I knew I wanted to become a Yoga Teacher. It wasn’t until 10 years later that I studied Yoga Iynegar in Sydney and Bikram Hot Yoga in Los Angeles. Yoga helped my find balance while running and managing my salons, competing in Fitness Competitions and becoming pregnant with my first child. I embraced my pregnancy so much I set up a Yoga room at home and incorporated the meditation relaxation. It was then I realized I had been running my life on stress and cortisol. That was almost an addiction to the stress and pressure. Yoga taught me to breathe deeply and manage anxiety I didn’t realize I even had. Yoga helped me maintain balance while competing and a healthy pregnancy. After childbirth I incorporated both exercise to get back in to shape and feel strong again through a balance of Strength training, Yoga, and Meditation.
I continued my studies in Yoga intensively and read many books related to the journey of mind/body meditative techniques. This spurred me into a path to learn and grow in service of helping others get fit and healthy and healing myself and others. I have over 10 years teaching experience teaching yoga and meditation and 20 years of personal weight loss coaching, published three health and nutrition books, working with thousands of women around the world, holistic nutrition, diverse forms of Yoga and weight training. I have ran retreats all over Australia, New Zealand and Bali.
I am excited to release my new 10 week Fitness Online Program that is a structured program for anyone who is a member of a gym looking for real results and a clear structured routine that scientifically proven and works. My program is unique by taking a more balanced approach on all my tools and techniques I personally use in my everyday life that keeps me Fit, Strong, Balanced and happy within.
